What a warm, rich sound.

The basilica resemblance with Saint Peter in Rome.

My great grandfather built this organ

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Wat A Great Organs Sounds with Fabulous Peaces.

Can you go to Saint Louis en l'île ? There is a quite beautiful baroque organ.

What a magnificent instrument!! 😮 Beautiful!

Amazing instrument. So glad they didn't change it. I wish they had better choirs.

This organ has everything he needs and nothing he doesn't!

This is a great video and for those who really want to hear a great theatre organist, check out recordings By George Wright who was the resident organist for a number of years at the San Fransisco Fox. I think I have most of the recordings he made over the years and never get tired of listing to them. Several other great Theatre organists were Don Baker, Leonard Maclaine, or Walt Stroney who was a resident organist at Radio City Music Hall In New York city. I'm sure there are many others, but these are the ones I have listed to over the 60+ years. Have a wonderful listening session!

What’s the song played in the last 30seconds?

There is a nice Wangerin in Kaukauna, Wis. at Holy Cross Church that had some additions by J.C. Taylor about 20 years ago.

the reed in play with the tremulant and Vox Celeste and Salicitional , is it the swell oboe or Vox Humana?

Personally I really enjoy you on the manuals. I don't know how I missed this when it was originally posted. Thanks!

perfectly balanced. big is not always better. in this room 29 ranks is big enough.

Now that is a classic 1902 sound

A Dom Bedos tremulant is a tremulant constructed as described in L’Art du Facteur d’Orgues by Dom Bedos

VERY interesting crawl and hunt for information on this organ. I've never seen gaining access to the box through the swell shades! Thanks to Chris for the discoveries.

Though I've seen this organ in many photos and seen it during my only visit to Saint-Sulpice, I'm gazing at it now. Even though this case is gigantic, in a way the case has a cute appearance compared to other huge organ cases around Europe.

Congrats on 11k subs buddy.

One if the finest organs in the world!

That organ is surprisingly effective for its size and vintage. Of course, the acoustics help and the room is stunning. Great video.

My wife and I went to Saint Sulpice in October 2023. We were treated to perfomances of both the gallery and choir organs and wonderful singing led by the cantoresse. Daniel Roth played for both the mass and a concert on the gallery instrument. Memorable day for us.

The carvings on the facade are fantastic, cant imagine how long it took to carve all those larger than life figures, Corinthian capitals, columns etc!

The Basilica was my mother's family's parish. My grandmother was married there in the early 20th century. I remember hearing that organ at family weddings and at funerals; beautiful and marvelous acoustics. Before and during World War II, Mom told me there were several thousand parishioners.

Lovely instrument.

Casavant, for decades, built «Catholic» and «Protestant» organs of very different character whether very small 2-manual or huge 4 (and even 5) -manual instruments. . THIS organ having been built for a «Protestant» church has a preponderance of 8-foot flue tone which sets it apart from the much brighter tone and more reeds which Casavant usually put in «Catholic» churches.

I believe early Hook & Hastings electropneumatic action magnets had a similar plunger design. I'm really glad this grand dame is playing and playing so well.

So does anybody here think it’s outrageous for a later-day organ student like myself to request access to the newly renovated Hazel Wright organ at Christ Cathedral to record homage to some of these guys? I happen to know of two improvisations by Cochereau(sp?) on the original Hazel Wright organ and I wanted to record them -as well as homage to others, including Olivier… preparation for another event in Munich. Just asking what ppl think.

Despite their name being on the instrument, it’s probable they did not actually built it. I have seen Lyon and Healy fairground organs wich are actually rebranded instruments from the North Tonowanda barrel organ company (later absorbed into Wurlitzer). That being said, almost everything was probably sub-contracted out to other organ builders and sold under the Lyon and Healy name with them taking a cut of the money. Not to dissimilar to modern “builders” who simply order everything from OSI or a similar supply factory, come to think of it.

Neat to see Chicago once again on this channel. I've been intending to check this instrument out for a long time, but never got to arranging it (same with the Saint John Cantius organ). This instrument actually also has a little-big brother in town as well - Lyon and Healy Opus 80 still sings at Saint Vincent's Church (located next to the campus of DePaul University in Lincoln Park - who also own the former Lyon and Healy office buildings in the loop for use as part of their downtown campus).

This church is massive, behind the area where entrance to organ loft is also a chapel. There are very few members of the parish, but as one of Chicago’s three basilicas, it (thankfully) isn’t under control or part of mergers and closings by local Cardinal. It is in a rough area of city, but worth a visit if in Chicago. Typically it is one of the many buildings open each fall for Open House Chicago and occasionally organ recitals too. If it looks familiar to movie buffs, it is where scenes with Sean Connery filmed for Untouchables.

Vierne didn't die 'after' a recital - his 1750th there. He had just played the first performance of his Tryptique and was starting an improvisation with a pedal note. That note was all there was as he slumped over the keys dead. Marcel Dupré was assisting at the console and had to remove his foot from the pedal key.

The organ can’t be voiced and tuned until the dust and the noise stop so it’s anyone’s guess when that will be. The rededication of the Cathedral is planned for December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Than u fr showing the organ and playing it I enjoy when you go into chamber and showing

When will be the first organ recital after the fire, do you Know? I gathered the Cathedral is sattled to reopen this year

Built in the heyday of symphonic/orchestral organbuilding it still retains its silvery/woollen tone, and yet there is power behind that fundamental-heavy tone. It's a shame that organbuilding like this went out of style in the organ reformation times and never really recovered. Hopefully the basilica continues to cherish and maintain this piece of musical history long into the future.

Would have been nice to see the older consoles. Austin consoles are ugly IMHO.

Exquisite timbres and colors - many of which bring a lump to the throat and/or a tear to the eye.

She’s great. Wonderful instrument as well!

This is a awesome console. Look at it...look at all those couplers!!!!

How much?
